As I wrote another post keeping Snelson would have netted the Gophers an additional 106 Rivals points plus whatever bonus points might apply ( I didn't spend any time trying to decipher their bonus system). That would have boosted their Rival's rating to 42 ( ahead of NW & Iowa in the Big Ten). Had they also elected to hold onto Foster, they would have gotten another 106 points plus possible bonus points which would have raised them to number 36,. possibly 35. That would look pretty good , but query, would the class be that mush better. In my mind it's highly doubtful.
